Anyone out there who managed to pre-order a copy of Cheapster heard anything today or had their credit cards etc debited? I checked the HMV site and the release date is down as the 23rd rather than the 16th as previously stated.

After noticing my debt card hadn't been charged yet, I checked my order's status on hmv and it says that the "good have not yet been received from suppliers". I guess Jason is taking his time personalizing them.

nope nothing here either .... still waiting , nothing from my account or husbands', sons' or best friends' either! Thanks for the "23rd" release date tip , I can move away from the doormat and get a life for a few more days now , Elspeth

I doubt it!

I got 49/500 and mine was exactly the same....

is it vinyl or cd? Is there a b side?

It has a live version of rated X. Mine just says spacemen too but it is number 18/500.

Olympusom1 · Post by **Olympusom1** » Mon Feb 23, 2004 2:58 pm

I've just received my Cheapster Limited edition CD. Mine too has 'Spaceman' scrawled at the bottom and is numbered 483/500.

Not exactly the 'artwork' I was expecting. And another thing, I read that this would be a one-track promo! This has two tracks, Cheapster and Rated X. The Cat No. is SANXD260.

Is this something else? I thought I was buying the promo.

I don't quite see your problem: the artwork is the full bhuna - CD, packaging and graphics. As with a limited edition of prints, each is signed and numbered by the artist. It does what it says on the box.

No problem, just being facetious. Actually more than happy as I was expecting only one track like most others.

oops didnt read the rules before sorry!

no shit!,

ive heard there are cheapster singles on ebay for sale if anyone wants one,

very clever!

hope that doesnt infringe the rules,

it does!

sorry if it does

not so sorry that you had to post this 4 times!

Elspeth · Post by **Elspeth** » Mon Feb 23, 2004 5:58 pm

got mine , happy as f**k . thank-you , although I doubt they'll ever get into the "greatest selling pop singles chart" with only making 500 of them !

Post by **spzretent** » Tue Feb 24, 2004 1:05 am

Not to rain on anyone's parade but apparently I am at the point where I have ceased collecting Spiritualized.

I haven't picked up CW 2 and this Cheapster thing is of little or no interest to me.

I never thought i'd see the day.

jess farr · Post by **jess farr** » Tue Feb 24, 2004 4:01 am

so hows the live version of 'rated x'? that was a highlight of the tour. anyone from the states got theirs yet? it looks like they took out about 10 bucks from my account. how much is 99p?

Jasonsmith · Post by **Jasonsmith** » Tue Feb 24, 2004 8:27 am

Anyone else think it's a bit crap to put these on e-bay the day they arrive? I was on holiday in Spain when the whole thing was announced and was blissfully unaware of its existence until it had sold out. Maybe next time they can give them out at gigs where fans, rather than people out to make a fast buck, could get their hands on them.

Greeny · Post by **Greeny** » Tue Feb 24, 2004 9:15 am

Spzretent - keep the faith man....us Spiritualized collectors need to stick together!!

Starfish · Post by **Starfish** » Tue Feb 24, 2004 9:25 am

i'm kind of with you on this one Spzretent.
I did get the Cheapster single, but only because it was cheap (99p is about $1.75) and easy to get.
If I'd not picked it up so simply, there's no way I'd pay over the odds for a track I've already got (and don't even particularly like).

A collectible has to have some kind of value (artistic not Â£Â£Â£) to interest me normally.

Still keeping Cheapster, though, rubbish as it is

lazer_guided · Post by **lazer_guided** » Tue Feb 24, 2004 10:01 am

I got number 2! Who's got 1/500?

g4tch · Post by **g4tch** » Tue Feb 24, 2004 2:38 pm

nah i only posted it once
but if you cant sell anything on here why the fuck ae there loads of people doing copies of this so called real complete works, doesnt that infringe copy right? if the music bosses can sue kids for downloading nursery rhymes why aint they sueing that lot for unauthorised copying,lending etc?

never mind, it just so happens that i have 2 copies of the cheapster sinlge, so anyone who wanted one could but one from me, but now i dont care, ill swap it with my mate for an ounce of skunkweed.

jealousy...who needs it

oh yes and once again i have 2 copies, thats TWO so fuck you all
and i dont need the real complete works either as i got 99% of the stuff the first time round

Ner-ner-ner-ner-ner! I'm the king of the castle and you're all dirty rascals. So there! And there! And there!

Seriously, has anyone seen my rattle? It was below my pram a minute or so ago, with all the other toys. Oh boo hoo...

Starfish · Post by **Starfish** » Tue Feb 24, 2004 2:50 pm

Two copies? Cool. Which one sounds better? You could play them both at once on differenct CD players.
The advantages must be endless.

BTW you'll be fucking lucky to get an ounce of skunk for it. Even if Jason had attached three-quarters of an ounce of skunk to the CD, it still wouldn't be worth that much.

g4tch · Post by **g4tch** » Tue Feb 24, 2004 2:56 pm

well if he wants to swap it for that why not?
id swap it for a pure phase glow in the dark box too, and yeah your right, if i play both at once on two cd players i get a hidden message from jason

it says, ha you lucky bastard you have 2 copies!!!!!!

(my thumb was in my mouth while I wrote this - can you tell?)

twentysixdollars · Post by **twentysixdollars** » Tue Feb 24, 2004 3:22 pm

He's right you know. The hidden message goes:

"G4tch is a cocksucker."

Ahem. Aren't I ladylike?

So you have two copies. Who cares? Idiot.

The curious should note that the live version of Rated X is pretty good - better than the LP version - but I would stop short of calling it worth the total import price to the US. At first I regretted purchasing it but I just handed it to my younger cousin, a Spiritualized collector-in-training. He already had some nice stuff and missed out on the opportunity for this, which he cherishes. He'll probably enjoy it a great deal more than I would, given that he actually likes Amazing Grace.

A UK purchaser is currently Ebaying no. 454.

g4tch · Post by **g4tch** » Tue Feb 24, 2004 3:27 pm

is that what you charge to suck a guys cock
26 dollars?

thats about Â£15, cheap that isnt it

cheapster!

My arse is about to go on Ebay by the way - Jason wouldn't sign it for some reason. Only two ounces of skunk this time.

Lets go point by point as the theme from Deliverance plays in the background.

George W is a cocksucker. Clinton was not. Monica was. When you come over here and meet all 250 million people you can then, and only then, throw out figures like 99% of us are thick as fuck. Does thick mean fat?

I thought Iraq was by Flock Of Seagulls(a british band).

Once again i'll give the point on Michael Jackson. But its only because of you Brits he's still so popular.

I'm not sure about your next blast. I know where the queen lives and I know where Jason lives and I know they aren't up the road from each other. Pretty smart eh?

Enjoy your retirement from the two Cheapster singles. I'm thinking you may have to sell both to really clean up though.

Somebody here MUST know a way of putting a notice next to all the ebay ads (but ESPECIALLY Gash's - which is still the cheapest copy BTW) that these hhighly collectable ltd edition heirlooms are still available through official channels (and therefore worth precisely 99 new pence).

Starfish · Post by **Starfish** » Wed Feb 25, 2004 2:59 pm

you could post an ad pretending to sell one and then in the description write something like DON'T BELIEVE A WORD - IT'S ALL BULLSHIT. GET YOUR COPY FROM HMV FOR 99P.

and also, I really enjoyed Glasgow when i went there for the weekend a few weeks back. perhaps it was the copious amounts of vodka me and my friend whose i was staying at had, maybe it was just her...most likely was that i found 'young team' for 7.99.

I cant remember anyone coming on this board and insulting so many in such a short period of time. He brought it on himself. Personally I cant disagree more. Its fun, anonymous(until some posted his bio and pic in another thread!
